IMPORTANT: Train station Arnhem not working during the summer.

The train station in Arnhem is under renovation. Fewer trains will be stopping at the station. Our basic advice; try to avoid this station ! If you are coming from Germany by train, this will be hard, so contact us in that case.

IMPORTANT: If you want to catch your flight at Schiphol airport early in the morning, our advice is to reach Utrecht the evening before. Schiphol is well deserved from Utrecht.

TRAIN BETWEEN SCHIPHOL AIRPORT AND NIJMEGEN: There are direct trains between Schiphol and Nijmegen but as indicated below, some might stop in Arnhem and will not reach Nijmegen. The best alternative is to connect at station "'s Hertogenbosch" often called simply "den Bosch" in the train. Do not be confused it really is the same place but with two names !

Trains leaving for Den Bosch depart every 30 minutes from Schiphol.  The last train leaves at 22:10.

Alternative and trains after 22.10

You can always reach Utrecht from Schiphol and then connect to Den Bosch.  Trains for Utrecht leaves every 15 minutes from Schiphol.

During the week days direct trains from Schiphol and Nijmegen will work as usual. So you won't need to connect. Troubles are only during the week-end.

It takes about 1h30 minutes to reach Nijmegen from Schiphol.
